Brave little fan
on July 1, 2026
Posted by: MikeyG
Helpful for anywhere you need a breeze and can burn through batteries without worry. Does a great job as a fan, but needs an option for wall-power. New models should be able to sit ontop of construction buckets of water for some primo evaporative misting.

Great Portable Fan. Lots of Uses!
on July 1, 2026

I've had this for years and love this fan. It is quiet, portable, and with a 5 or 6 AH battery, this runs for a long time. I've left the fan on medium/low speed overnight and found it still running the next day.
I use it sometimes when sanding to blow saw dust away.
I also use it in a pinch when it get's too hot inside.

Bad item. Don't buy

I don't recommend this fan. When it worked it was great. After a few months maybe 16 hours it has a bad control switch and will not stay on
